Altrincham-based operator New Care has opened a new £15 million, 63-bed care facility in Cheshire.

Mayor of Cheshire East Council, Cllr David Marren, officially opened Wilmslow Manor Care Centre, located on Handforth Road, before being given an exclusive VIP tour of the home by manager, Paula Clark, and deputy manager, Sophie Kay.

Cllr David Marren said: “I was delighted to be invited to officially open Wilmslow Manor.  Having seen the care home I am thrilled to say that the facility is very impressive both inside and outside, with attention to detail second to none.  Having met some of the New Care team, I am confident residents will receive outstanding care at Wilmslow Manor.”

With recruitment well underway, Wilmslow Manor will create approximately 100 jobs across multiple disciplines, from carers and nurses to hospitality, housekeeping, activities, maintenance and chefs over the course of the next 12 months.

Facilities at the home, which will provide residential, dementia, 24 hour nursing and respite care services, include a spa assisted bathroom, nail bar and hair salon.
